第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分 35 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑。
A
I'm now living in the south of France with my husband Keith and three small children,and I feel like a fish
out of water everywhere but one place-the Saturday street market.It's been operating in our small town of
Sommieres since the 13th century,but we've only lived here for three months.
From Monday to Friday,life is all about the kids.I'm busy helping my children deal with life in a French
school.It's not easy,and their stress is the whole family's stress,as Keith and I are occupied with the daily school
runs,piles of homework and school notes in French.
But on Saturday,the market is for me.I feel so peaceful as I walk along the quiet street toward the busy town
square.The knife-sharpening man is there, operating a machine that looks like it dates from the Industrial
Revolution.There' re street musicians with guitars and microphones,and the sound of beautiful songs fills the
air.And the food,of course,is delicious.The cheese man doesn't speak-he just points and cuts,offering a piece from
his knife.Lines come out of the door for fresh bread at the bakery.Organic vegetables,herbs and desserts are a feast
for the eyes,before being put into the bag to be enjoyed later for lunch.The noises and smells of the market are
unfamiliar and thrilling,but their procedures are clear to me.This is part of why I love the place so much:Unlike
during the week,when I'm constantly faced with my own difficulties,I know how this place works.My terrible
French isn't the barrier to communication that it is in other circumstances.
At school and in the village,I can't joke or join a conversation,and although the other parents at the school are
kind,I'm an outsider.But at the market,I'm just another customer with a basket.Surrounded by day trippers,I feel 第 4 页 （共 10 页）
like a local- greeting people I know and petting dogs.
My Saturday experiences allow me to hope that in the near future I'll feel equally confident in my everyday
life.Until then,Saturdays prepare me for the coming week of school runs.

The coronavirus（冠状病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in
countries across the world, but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety
and confusion.
Rob Braddick, 48, who owns Braddick’s Holiday Park in Westward Ho, Devon, in the southwest of England,
has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country’s most sought-after cleaning
products.
Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing “Frozen 2” or “Peter Rabbit” toys from the machines,
but no more. “They got removed this morning,” Braddick said of the toys, replacing them with toilet roll and hand
sanitizer (洗手液). Visitors can now pay 50p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber, or a go for Carex, which
Braddick described as the “Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers.”
Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less stressed in uncertain times. “It’s
a bit of light relief with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Hopefully it will raise a smile, which I think 第 5 页 （共 10 页）
everybody needs.”
Around the world, travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as
part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus. Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet paper and hand
sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the products.
Braddick said the family business, which has been running since 1932, has received more than a dozen calls
from potential customers who say they don’t want to travel abroad for their holidays and would rather stay in the
UK. As for his own measures against coronavirus, Braddick said staff have been told to wash their hands every
half hour, which is particularly important for those handling money.
24. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. New practice of the game. B. Prizes of the game.
C. Price for a try. D. People’s love for grabbing toys.
25. What’s the purpose of Braddick’s new idea?
A. To make higher profits. B. To attract more people to play the game.
C. To support his family business. D. To ease people’s anxiety.
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Cleaning products will be in shortage for a long time.
B. Braddick’s business is experiencing a hard time.
C. Tourism may fall into a decline.
D. Everyone in the park is told to wash their hands every half hour.

Elon Musk has expressed his company – Neuralink is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface
(接口) to connect humans and computers. Musk told followers in Twitter the technology would be “coming soon”
– though he failed to provide details.
Neuralink was set up in 2016 with the ambitious goal of developing hardware to strengthen the human
brain. However, little about how this will work has been made public. Neuralink describes the interface as an
extremely high-speed connection between the human brain and computers.
Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity.
Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future. At a
technology conference in 2016, Mr Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a
brain-computer interface was not built. Last year on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk said Neuralink’s
technology would allow humans to “effectively combine with AI”.
A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2015 described a concept for this connection, explaining
how a flexible circuit(回路) could be injected into a living brain. “We’re trying to lessen the distinction between
electronic circuits and neural circuits,” said Harvard researcher Charles Lieber, who co-authored the study.
Despite the technology’s potential to increase the human brain, experts have warned that brain-computer
interfaces risk being controlled by vicious (恶意的) artificial intelligence. 第 6 页 （共 10 页）
Such an action could lead to AI controlling the thoughts, decisions and emotions of a person using a
brain-computer link. “Technological developments mean that we are on a path to a world in which it will be
possible to discover people’s mental processes and directly operate the brain mechanisms underlying their
intentions, emotions and decision,” stated a Nature comment piece written by 27 scientists and machine
intelligence engineers. “The possible medical and social benefits in it are vast. But we must guide their
development in a way that respects, protects and enables what is best in humanity.”
27. What message did Musk convey about his Neuralink?
A. It sells brain-machine interfaces.
B. Its new technology will be accessible to the public soon .
C. It has followers to connect humans and computers.
D. It offers rich data about interfaces.
28. What can we know from Paragraph Two?
A. Neuralink aims to know the human brain better.
B. The interface is expected to link the human brain and computers rapidly.
C. The brain-machine interface was invented in 2016.
D. How the hardware functions is already known.
29. According to Musk, why are brain-machine interfaces important?
A. Because they may treat human like house pets.
B. Because they rapidly develop artificial intelligence.
C. Because they build neural circuits in human brains.
D. Because they may make AI serve human better.
30. What is the attitude of Nature to brain-machine interfaces?
A. Opposed B. Favorable C. Objective D. Indifferent

Over the past few months,COVID-19 has caused great uncertainty around the world affecting people's lives
in all aspects.Education is also greatly affected.With students all turning to online instruction,live-streamed
classes have become popular among schools and universities. 31
In China,the use of e-learning is unusual not only in size but also in depth. 32 For another,it proves how
modern technology changes the way students are educated and encourages further research and development of
educational technology to introduce virtual communities between students and teachers.
In fact,online instruction as an alternative teaching mode has been expanding rapidly in recent years.Many
Chinese start-ups focus on AI applications in online courses,and various online educational platforms are set
up.33 The online education platform MOOC,where a wide variety of courses is available,has attracted the world's
top universities to upload and share resources with students around the world.第 7 页 （共 10 页）
Compared with formal instruction,online courses save abundant costs and create a flexible teaching mode(模
式）－homeschooling,especially during a crisis. 34 For example,rural students with no access to the Internet and
television might be left behind in this new mode.When e-learning becomes the only solution for delivering
knowledge,the existing divide could be widened,further deepening education inequality.Also,the quality of
teaching becomes heavily dependent on uncertain factors,such as a stable connection to the Internet and technical
skills.
35 Yet,the pandemic(流行病）has undoubtedly affected the teaching style in a sweeping manner and given
educators around the world plenty of time and space to think about the alternative educational modes.
A. Chinese colleges and universities started the spring term online.
B. Moreover,online education is fairly acceptable to college education.
C. However,online teaching has its own disadvantages.
D. The traditional face-to-face teaching style has been challenged.
E. For one thing,the impressive practice sets a good example to other countries.
F. So,it's early to predict how the future of the education system will look like.
G. Online teaching provides a chance to reconsider the current education system.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw rocks at them and even
shot at them with a shotgun. At least that's what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister, Leigh Ann,and I lived
when we were growing up. His farm was long,narrow,and quaint. It held two treasures. One was
his beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit:pears,apples,and lots more I just can't think of. The fruit
naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didn't dare
to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day,we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My
sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through
the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across his property around the
luscious fruit trees. We were almost through the farm when we heard, "Hey,girl! "in a gruff,low
voice. We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were,face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our
knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
"Come here, "he said,reaching up to one of his apple trees. Still shaking,we went over to
him. He held out several ripe,juicy,red apples. "Take these home, "he commanded. We took the
apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh Ann and I ate the apples.
As time went on,we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm,and he kept on giving us
more luscious fruit. One day,we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch. We talked 第 10 页 （共 10 页）
to him for hours. While he was talking,we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure:
the sweet,kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon,he was one of our favorite people to talk
to. Unfortunately,his family never seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed
us in.
